Policing The Risk Society - 9780198265535

This book contends that the police have become information brokers to institutions such as insurance companies and health and welfare organisations that operate based on knowledge of risk. In turn, these institutions influence the ways that police officers think and act. The authors examine different aspects of police involvement.
